Excellent. Might mix in a little milk also, to make more creamy, and some salt and pepper to taste of course. Sometimes food just doesn't have to be healthy, so lighten up ISSA.

Hot Mexican Spinach Dip

This dip is so good! I make it with all ingredients as listed, but instead of baking it I cook it in a crockpot for a few hours... This makes it smooth, creamy, and wonderful! On The Border medium salsa seems to work the best for this, very chunky with just a hint of sweet.

I remember my mom showing me how to make these when I was about 4 years old... it's what got me interested in cooking as a kid! We would toast the bread, and then butter the insides before adding the cheese. Assemble (dry side out), cover with a paper towel, and then microwave for 30 seconds to melt the butter and the cheese. My freshman year of college, my roommates and I held some great girls' night dinner parties in our dorm room: snuck-in bottles of wine and "grown-up" versions of these with turkey/gruyere/cranberry, ham/apple/brie, etc... they were a big success among the "we have no stove to cook with" set ;)

Made the lasagna for the first time 10 years ago, and I've been using this sauce recipe ever since. It's perfect, everyone raves! Sometimes I add 1/4 t red pepper flakes to give it more punch (I love spicy food).
